BUCKS COUNTY, PA – The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has announced a significant bridge construction project on Newportville Road, impacting both Bristol and Bensalem townships. Set to commence on Tuesday, December 3, this essential infrastructure work aims to improve the safety and reliability of the roadway network in Bucks County.
The construction will necessitate the closure of Newportville Road from Tuesday, December 3, through Friday, December 13. The closure will be in effect each weekday from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM, between Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road. During these periods, motorists will be directed to follow a detour utilizing Zimmerman Lane and New Falls Road. Despite the closure, local access will be maintained up to the designated work zone, ensuring minimal disruption for nearby residents.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists to anticipate potential traffic delays and to plan their travel accordingly. Allowing extra time when navigating the vicinity of the construction site will help manage the expected congestion and potential traffic backups. It is important to note that all scheduled activities for this project are subject to weather conditions, which may affect the timeline and progress of the work.
Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about current roadway conditions by consulting resources such as the MyChesCo Traffic Center, which provides updates on traffic delays, speeds, and accidents.
As the construction progresses, the cooperation of the public is vital to achieving the successful completion of this project. By adhering to detour routes and planning travel with the construction schedule in mind, drivers can contribute to a smoother transition as improvements are made to Newportville Road.
